[Note: Of the corrections in the column for the 17th October (the first corrections column for the Daily Mail) only one made it to the web site – bizarrely dated October 15th. However, thanks to the work of grimreaperblog and Tabloid Watch we have been able to recreate it.]

Michael Levy

On 26 September we reported that barrister Michael Levy had been arrested on suspicion of “carousel” fraud. Whilst HM Revenue & Customs confirmed the information to us at the time, we now understand that Mr Levy was arrested on suspicion of irregularities in his personal tax position, which he denies.

World Economic Forum Survey

An article on 9 September reported a World Economic Forum survey which ranked UK schools 43rd in the world for maths. We are happy to clarify that the survey was based on the opinions of business leaders about teaching in their own countries.

Price War

An article on 27 September, ‘Tesco wins opening skirmish as price war catches out rivals’, quoted the price of a Sainsbury’s shopping basket at £26.26 against the Tesco equivalent of £19.04. While the Sainsbury’s basket remained more expensive than the other supermarkets surveyed, the correct figure should have been £23.51.

Dacorum Borough Council

A reference in Richard Littlejohn’s column reported the allegation that Dacorum Borough Council in Hertfordshire had ignored six letters and as many phone calls from a resident requesting additional assistance in caring for her incapacitated mother before finally making a home visit and refusing her request. In fact the complaint concerned Hertfordshire County Council.
